The tone of this is more in the style of the early "shaped poems" of George Herbert (1593-1633).

Roots and Wings

* wings take flight
flight takes wings *
* the spirit that
soars
is a spirit that sings *
* the body may comprise the whole *
* a mind embraces all the soul *
* roots to enter *
* at life's center *
* to make success of humankind *
* one should ever feed the mind *
* deep spirit in self fires the dreams to be
*
* roots keep us warm
wings keep us free *
